The presentation on Marian Co-Redemption and Mediation by Monsignor Arthur B. Calkins this past Saturday at the Oratory was extraordinarily good. First, I was impressed enough by the very large crowd that turned out for a Marian lecture on a beautiful Spring Saturday morning. But the talk itself was fantastic-- not only informative but extremely interesting and edifying. I don't have the audio of this talk, (UPDATE: oh yes I do, thanks to the Institute. Click here for the audio) but if you wish to hear, read or see a video of other presentations on this subject by Monsignor Calkins, go to this link. You won't be disappointed. St. Louis is blessed to have such a Marian scholar in residence here.

Thanks again to reader Phil, whose photo appears above. He continually saves readers from having to view the distressing product of my iPhone photographic "skills".

A Day That Will Live in Glory

Pray for the Four Cardinals: Burke, Caffarra, Meiser and Brandmuller

“You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day."
